When it comes to speakers as a whole, Mackie is no stranger to power and quality. In today’s case, let’s just say they further prove their point in effective speaker solutions for all types of environments and settings. We were given a pair of the Mackie Thump 15BST powered loudspeakers to write an honest and fair review, and after using these bad boys for a number of hours, I must say I was taken back by how high-end they were — the bigger picture as a whole, whether it’s the excellent sound quality, wireless streaming capability, Vita+ preamps for mics, three-channel mixer built-in or overall power this thing can produce, all combine for a powerful punch many powered speakers in this price-point can’t compete with (especially if you grab two). Let’s get into the details.

One of our favorite brands known for making speakers, Mackie audio gear, has a brand new portable PA speaker worth taking a look at. To us, it’s basically a Bluetooth speaker we’re all used to but one that has gone to the gym for a few years straight and gained size and features. It’s battery-powerable, allows for Bluetooth connectivity with any compatible device, and it also comes with it’s own app. Let’s take a look at the details of the Mackie FreePlay Personal PA System.

Today we review the best studio monitor speakers for your home, semi-pro or even professional studio, whether you’re on a budget or have saved up a decent chunk of money. Studio monitors are exceptional in terms of sound accuracy, particularly geared towards musicians and producers mixing or mastering tracks. As opposed to typical market speakers by the popular brands we see on TV, most of those either up the bass or treble frequencies or pay less attention to driver detail in order to appeal to the larger market. Monitors battle this by giving you the truest form of sound the artist intended for us to hear, evenly distributing their frequencies among the drivers and providing some powerful amplifiers built-in to their compact size. Let’s review the top 10 best studio monitor speakers available today.

This is the big bertha of M-Audio‘s three-way active studio monitor speakers. The M3-8 are beasts, with crazy tech and specs that truely justify it’s $350 per speaker price. We already saw the capabilities in our M-Audio M3-6 studio monitor review, but if you have the dough for this, you will not be disappointed in terms of speaker power and overall accuracy with every possible frequency of a song. Some argue that mixes stand out when the mids are genuinely tweaked, which are stated to be the centerpeice of the entire song (the vocals). Let’s check this bad boy out.

Although we’ve explained that one of the largest aspects of a home or professional studio is a recording microphone, if you can’t hear what you’re making or listening to accurately, your whole setup is pretty much a dud. We highlight and review the best studio monitors for under $500 and help you decide which reference speakers to use in your music equipment rig. Let’s get into the details.
